A Bad Sign.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April IA prominent
southern member of Congress and an en-
tnusiastiC indOrser OF President CleVe-
land, who has recently returned from
New York, where he made political re-
connoissanCe, said to THE GAZETTE cor
respondent tonight: 81 mixed around a
good deal with working Democrats while
in New York, and to my establishment l
found but two or three men who indi-
Gated willingness to enter the campaign
favoring the Presidents denomination.
I had reason to believe that there was
considerable dissatisfaction. but l had not
the least conception that it wGs
assuming so formidable a shape.
As friend of the President, and coming
from state that Will send a solid dele
cation to the convention instructed to
support his denomination, regard the
situation as alarming, if l am to be guided
in the least by the feeling which l found
to exist. With all this, however, am of
the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland will be re-
nominated and re elected, though it is q
bad sign to see so much discord at this
early dateD

gerald, city marshal of Sterling, H., and
A. A. Wolfberger, lawyer OF the same
place, who arried in this city yesteraayan
search of the woman Lillian Snaverly,

cause of the disappearance. Mr.. Wolf
berger said Lillian was the daughter of
wealthy parents in Sterling, and was left
$4,000 on the death of her father. She
was sent to al art school
in Chicago, where she met
NJ. II. Davidson, who represented
himself to be a wealthy cattleman from
Texas. Davidson had learned that the
girl had a good deal of money and entered
into scheme with two associates, L. c..
Watson and NJ, II. Bell, to gain her conf
dence and defr aud her. Watson was in
troduced to Miss Snaveriy, and in less
than three days she consented to marry
him. The folks at Sterling heard of it,
and to prevent matters autographed her to
come home at once, as her
mother was very i'll. She re-
turned to Sterling, accompanied by
Watson. On learning she had been de-
cieyed she was very indignant, and was
shortly afterwards surreptittously married
to Watson and went with him to Chicago.
He got all the money from her he could,
ana when she refused to give him more
he left for the east. Davidson then went
to Mrs. Watson and told her Watson
had a wife in Chicago and another
in New York city, and Induced
her to come TO Omaha with rim where
he said they would be married. Nothing
has been heard of Davidson, Mrs. Wat
son or Bill who went west Ct here with
them on March so. Mr.. Fitzgerald has
received dispatch from Lillian's mother
urging them to find her at any cost.

Reid Still for Blaine.

OptCIdI % Iib O1AoEI6I
WAsHINGTON, April 7.-Although the
matter created considerable excitement
in political circles, the opinion is univer-
sal in Washington without regard to
party or faction, that the alleged anti
Blaine letter from WhitelaW Reid to
Murat Halstead or Richard Smith is q
canard. Nobody believes that Reid
would have written such letter to either
of the gentlemen named. Senator Sher-
man in an interview here to-day, said he
had never heard of such letter and was
not inclined to belive it, for the reason
that Mr.. Reid was close friend of Mr..
Blaine, and would take no such position
without Mr.. Blaine's acquiescence.
